Amongst those establishments participating are Bar Andalucia, Restaurante Lilium in Calle Jose Antonio, La Puntilla in El Charco and Café Guernika amongst others. Apart from the better known Canarian staples such as Bienmesabe and Papas Arragudas (wrinkled potatoes), there will also be a number of more adventurous offerings, making good use of local produce.

For instance, Bar Andalucia will be offering a new dish using Cherne (Wreckfish), called ‘Brandada de Cherne’, whilst Lilium will serve up banana croquets with a minty mayonnaise. A wide variety of locally caught seafood will also be incorporated into new recipes, along with palm hearts, the traditional mojo sauces and numerous sweets, all priced at extremely reasonable rates with a tapas serving starting at just €2.

Five cheeses from Lanzarote will be battling it out in the different award categories at this international clash of the quesos.  Including fine examples of the cheese makers art from the Finca de Uga, La Atalaya, Rubicon, Montaña Blanca and El Faro.

A tasting of the nominated cheeses will be taking place at the Monumento al Campesino on Tuesday 29th September at 11.00, which will be attended by the Councillor for Tourism, Carlos Espino and the Councillor for Agriculture, Lourdes Bernal, as well as representatives from each dairy.
